Bloodsport, the greatest martial arts movie ever, in my humble opinion... part 2

Remembering how his sensei, Tanakason, taught him to fight with his senses while blinded, Frank Dux grabs Chong-Li's arm, and he fights with inspiration and grace.

He can not see, but his fighting is perfect....

Be takes Chong-Li down and forces him to say the equivalent of uncle by saying, matté!! By doing so, he dishonors the cheating murder, Chong-Li!!! 😁😁😁

He wins the sword and says it's for Tanakason, and by doing so honors his sensei!!

Frank gives his friend his bandana back. They express their love for each other. Anytime, anywhere, they've got each other's back. I love that!! ❤️

I love this movie!!! It has the greatest martial arts fighting that I've ever seen in it!! The battles are incredible. This is Van Damme at his best!! 😁 😍 This movie is based on real events in the life of Frank Dux 💜💜💜

Water vs Sand For Karate Practitioners

Karate training has always embraced methods that challenge the body and mind in unique ways. Two unconventional approaches—training in water and training on sand—are drawing attention for their ability to enhance strength, balance, and technique. These methods, rooted in traditional practices, aren’t just for variety; they target specific skills every karateka can benefit from. Whether you’re…

Mikio Ueda (Japan) vs Ilya Karpenko (Russia) - a Technique Battle ~This is Kyokushin Karate

Kyokushin Karate world champon Mikio Ueda (3-1) continues on his journey into the sport of MMA. The Japanese heavyweight has won 3 straight since getting KOed in his first MMA fight. Granted it's been mostly old men and a sumo wrestler. He's got a young fighter next, Polish heavyweight Przemysław Kowalczyk (3-0). I don't know much about Kowalczyk but he looks like a "real" fighter. He's got a bunch of amateur experience and has progressed as much as a 3-0 fighter probably should have in terms of opponents. He's listed at 25 but looks like 40+ so who knows.

Ueda returns to action this Sunday (June 9) as part of RIZIN 47.

Bolo Yeung in Bloodsport: Proof That Gods Walk Among Us

The Man Who Broke My Teenage Ego

There’s confident, there’s cocky, and then there’s me as a teenager thinking I was hot stuff. I thought my world-class (read: YouTube-taught) fighting skills made me untouchable. Enter Bolo Yeung as Chong Li—here to break spines, crush egos, and remind fools like me that mortals should stay in their lane.

Let’s address the elephant in the kumite: Chong Li straight-up killed a guy. Not with flair, not with anger, but with the detached efficiency of someone popping bubble wrap. Why? Because the poor fool insulted the gods—probably by existing in the same oxygen as Bolo. His death wasn’t even a fight; it was a divine sacrifice.

Bolo’s Energy: “Why Are You Alive in My Presence?”

Chong Li doesn’t fight—he enforces divine will. He doesn’t run, doesn’t duck, doesn’t even flinch. He moves with the bored determination of someone deleting spam emails. When he killed that man in the ring, his expression said it all: This is what happens when you defy destiny.

And that nostril blow? Pure disrespect. A casual “you’re not worth the oxygen” flex as he casually strolled toward his prey. Meanwhile, the guy waiting to fight him is visibly trying to remember his religion. Too late, my dude—you’re already the offering.

Teenage Me vs. Reality

Watching Bolo made me realize: I wasn’t "humble." I was delusional. I thought knowing a few flashy moves meant I could hang in the kumite. But watching Bolo destroy that man without even looking mildly inconvenienced? That was my come-to-Jesus moment.

No stances. No hesitation. Just pure, unrelenting you-shouldn’t-have-shown-up-today energy. Chong Li doesn’t just dominate opponents; he annihilates the very idea of their existence.

But Wait, There’s More! (Humiliation, That Is)

When Bolo stands there, flexing his titanic pecs and looking bored, it’s not showboating—it’s a warning to anyone else who might think they stand a chance. His pecs alone have more charisma than most people’s entire personalities.

And that guy he killed? He’s probably haunting the kumite floor, warning future generations to just stay home.

Final Thoughts: Worship or Perish

Bolo Yeung as Chong Li isn’t just a fighter—he’s a reckoning. A walking monument to humility for anyone stupid enough to think they can step into his arena. And if you’re still feeling bold, go ahead—get in the ring. Just make sure your life insurance is paid up.

If I had a nickel for every time a guy named Frank had lied so entertainingly about having won an utterly impossible foreign sporting competition that a Hollywood movie was made about it, I'd have two nickels.

Mondo will release a Bloodsport 24x36 screen print by Gian Galang today, May 17, at 1pm EST. Priced at $80, it's limited to 185 and is expected to ship in September.

Read on for a statement from the artist:

For me, no image distills '80s one-on-one martial arts combat more perfectly than a Van Damme flying kick to the face. Trying to depict this with as much impact as possible, I painted Dux from a low angle, soaring over the crowd and blasting out of frame through Chong Li's face. I split the composition in half with diagonal speed lines, emphasizing the iconic clash that inspired a generation of fighting games and the sport of mixed martial arts.
